The Arkansas TE joins a growing list of early enrollees.
It pains me to see that the team who benefited most from our loss to Kansas St is, you guessed it, USC. USC jumps from the #7 spot all the way up to #3 in the BCS. And now it looks like they will control their own destiny when it comes to playing in the BCS National Championship game.
With Texas’ loss, the Horns fall all the way down to #13 in the BCS, their National Championship hopes lost. Rutgers also makes a huge move after beating Louisville and now claims the #6 spot. They are still a long shot to make it to the title game, but with the way this season is going, who knows what can happen.

If you watched any of the game, no doubt the imagine above is something you saw often. Texas’ secondary continually got burned and ultimately just gave up too many points.
Texas fought hard to comeback and showed a lot of heart, but it was just too little too late and now Texas will miss out on their opportunity to repeat as National Champions.
This loss is tough to take, but now we have to focus and make sure to take care of business against A&M so that we can at least play in the Big 12 Championship game. Man this sucks…

For some reason it is hard for me to imagine big Frank Okam doing pilates.

The amount of media bias towards USC can get sickening sometimes. And this time it isn’t even ESPN.
Rutgers just beat Louisville with a game winning field goal. It was a weird feeling rooting for Rutgers like they were the Longhorns. The pressure is on now for the Horns as every game becomes a must win if they want to make it to the BCS National Championship. The Texas A&M game suddenly has a lot more meaning, especially if Texas wins this weekend against Kansas St.
Texas probably wouldn’t yet jump Florida in the BCS, but they would have a good chance to if they beat A&M. All eyes will be on Texas and Florida this weekend, with Texas playing on national television and Florida going up against their ole ball coach Spurrier.
This is an exciting time and definitely makes the games a lot more stressful. Just what we all need.

I agree with just about everything he said. That reporter just never got the point.
A match-up all Texas fans will probably be watching is Louisville at Rutgers. If Rutgers can pull off the upset, Texas will sitting in a nice position to get a spot in the BCS National Championship game. Another big game this week is in the SEC, where Tennessee tries to bounce back after their LSU loss and goes heads up against Arkansas. Arkansas controls their own destiny in the SEC and will have to lose twice relinquish their lead over Auburn.
Texas travels to Kansas St and can clinch a spot in the Big 12 Championship with a win. And Texas Tech travels to OU. You remember what happened last time they played right?
Here’s our picks for the games this weekend:

The coach was fired less than one month after suffering a heart attack. That just seems wrong.
